Life Before Our Modern Era

By Rich Kozlovich 

Before I go into life (BME), before our modern era, let's first ponder this.  At the end of WWII the world's population was approximately two billion people, and it took thousands of years to get there.  In a little over seventy five years the world's population soared to over seven billion people.  Why?  Let's explore this.

We keep hearing from greenies, and now elitists such as those at the , who want us to abandon modern agriculture and eat bugs, and insist we all have to abandon all the things necessary to maintain a modern world. This "Climate Cult" want's the world to abandon our current systems for power generation and embrace "sustainable" energy, such as and solar.  Both of which, if left alone as the only sources for energy creation, would be an abject failure, returning the world to a far more primitive existence, and they have to know that's the end consequence of all these schemes.   The greenie return to nature meme is unending.   So, perhaps we should look at what a more primitive existence would be like.   

 SNEAK PEEK: Here’s What’s Inside the Two-Year ‘Controligarchs’ Investigation

In days gone by before pesticides flies were everywhere, mosquitoes were uncontrolled, uncontrollable, and lice infestations were vast!  All of which were disease spreaders on a massive scale.  Horses were the primary source of transportation, and guess what horses did regularly with total disregard for where they were.  They crapped, right down on the streets.  

Did you ever wonder why older cities had alleys?  That was so the honey dippers could come and clean out the toilets.  Until the 1880's there was was no sewer system for flush toilets, hence, there were no flush toilets, which was invented in the late 1500's but ignored for three hundred years.  There were no bathrooms as we know them.   Outhouses were everywhere, even communal outhouses, which is a shed built over a hole in the ground.  In the cities the toilet was attached to the back of the house accessible via the alley, with a container that could be cleaned out by operators of honey wagons.  

The honey wagon was originally a horse-drawn vehicle that went through back alleys to collect human excreta. Houses at that time did not have flush toilets or indeed any form of indoor sanitation beyond the chamberpot. In rural areas the outhouse (privy) is associated with a pit latrine of various sorts, but many towns and cities depended on some variant of the pail closet, which needed frequent emptying. At each outdoor toilet, the driver (honey dipper) would stop the wagon, flip up the back hatch door (trap-door) of the outhouse, slide out the pail (bucket), pick it up, and dump the contents into one of eight oak half-barrels in the wagon box. The half-barrels had no lids.

All of which was, by out standards, stunningly unsanitary, unhealthy, and drew all kinds of disease spreading vermin, and there was no toilet paper.  Because of these unsanitary conditions it was common for deadly diseases such as cholera to be spread.   While almost no one thinks about cholera in America today, in less developed areas of the world, it can be epidemic, even now.  

The greenies want the world to abandon the use of chlorine in our drinking water, but make no mistake, if we abandon using chlorine in our water America would suffer the same plague suffered by South Americans who bought into their lies regarding chlorine and cancer.   In James Marusek's article, The Dark Side of Deep Ecology he notes:

As Greenpeace's Joe Thornton explains, There are no uses of chlorine which we regard as safe. Yet chlorination -- considered one of the greatest advances ever in public health and hygiene -- is almost universally accepted as the method of choice for purifying water supplies. In the United States alone, 98 percent of public water systems are purified by chlorine or chlorine-based products. In 1991, an epidemic of cholera started in Peru and spread to the rest of Latin American. This epidemic reached the U.S. in 1992 via an outbreak among 75 commercial airline passengers from Peru. This epidemic is reported to have caused as many as 1 million cases of cholera and as many as 10,000 deaths.

• Dirty Water; Will the United States repeat Peru's chlorine folly?

James ends his article saying; 

Another dark aspect of this religious movement is it spawns religious fanatics, such as the Earth Liberation Front (ELF), that believe terrorism such as the destruction of property and threatening human lives, are justified in the name of their eco-religious beliefs. 

Why has the world's population soar over the last seventy five years?   Pesticides, modern chemistry including medicine, ample energy production, and advance agricultural techniques, including the use of GMO's, which these misfits demand we abandon.   Clearly, there can be only one conclusion as to the goal of all these insane policy decisions by elitists and environmentalists which can only be one thing. 

Population reduction and control.  

However, if someone thinks that's they way they should live their lives, I'm fine with that.  Let them move to areas where they can live their dream, but I'm betting they won't live all that long, I'm also betting they won't walk the talk because they keep living here.  So, if that's so, and it is, why should we accept the insane demands and standards they tout that can only be viewed as demonic misanthropy?

Towards the Dictatorship of Psychopaths

October 11, 2023 By Mark Andrew Dwyer

The New Left in today’s America has incorporated into its ideology the thesis of Critical Race Theory, which is an offspring of Critical Theory, which is an offspring of Marxism. As such, it borrows heavily from Marx’s ideas and applies them, often creatively so, to the American society.
One of the main ideas of Marx was a reversal of the power structure to impose a dictatorship of the proletariat (the noun proletariat was used to denote the laborer class, or what we call blue-collar workers). Marx claimed this was the only practical way to ensure that blue-collar workers (allegedly incapable of succeeding on their own in a “capitalist” society) are not ruthlessly exploited by greedy “capitalists.”.....To Read More.....

 

The Most Terrifying Man on the Planet

Donald J. Trump is the most terrifying man on the planet, but only for Democrats, Marxists, RINOs, and the world dominating Elitists everywhere

By Steve Rossiter ——Bio and Archives--June 14, 2023

The Marxist police state of the United States of America, headed by Commissar Joe Biden, has once again shined a bright spotlight on the man that most terrifies them and their world domination puppet masters. This man is none other than the 45^th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, and his Make America Great Again (MAGA) followers. The globalist cabal of rich, elitist, Marxist oligarchs has feared him since the day he came down the Golden Escalator in 2015.

First the criminal enterprise of Hillary Clinton and her toadies in the U.S. Justice Department of Barrack Obama and the Marxist Democrat Party tried to take him down with the fabricated Russia, Russia, Russia gambit. It didn’t work..........To Read More....

Dreaming of America's Future

By Christopher Chantrill   November 28, 2022 

After the indecisive midterm election, it is time for everyone to be doing thumbsucker pieces. Former President Trump had a couple of thinkers over to Mar-a-Lago -- Ye West and Nick Fuentes -- for a chat. Nick Fuentes? But he's a faaar-right conspiracy theorist last seen at Charlottesville! OMG! You should see the outrage on lefty Twitter. Roger Kimball is more worried about "Highways to Utopia" such as the destructive dynamism of the Marxists and Wokists, the possibilities of technological Armageddon, and the ever-present threat of genetic engineering.  Yep, with all that stuff, there's no doubt it's the end of the world -- particularly when a far-right conspiracy theorist gets into range of Trump.

But my imagination sees three things that are going to affect traffic in the near to middle-distant future...............To Read More..

When Too Much Power Makes the Elites Insane

July 2, 2021  By Jack Gleason @ American Thinker 

We've all heard the phrase "power corrupts," by Lord Acton, a 19th-century British historian.  The full quote — "Power tends to corrupt.  Absolute power corrupts absolutely" — referred to the absolute power of kings.

Research from 2012 by Katherine A. DeCelles, a University of Toronto professor, concluded that wealth and power don't affect everyone equally — they just allow existing personality traits to emerge to excess. 

There are many stories of wealthy people setting up foundations that help millions of people.  But there is a dark side as well. 

People with great wealth and power quickly become surrounded by underlings who fawn over their every word.  Every idea is brilliant; every thought is genius.  After a while, they start to think they are gods.

George Soros: "I admit that I have always harbored an exaggerated view of self-importance―to put it bluntly, I fancied myself as some kind of god or an economic reformer like Keynes or, even better, a scientist like Einstein."

Barack Obama's "bitter clingers" remark, Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables," and Joe Biden's "the coal miners can learn how to code" solution and his "farming is just putting a seed in dirt" comment offer a clear look into the inner workings of these corrupt minds.  They are the smart ones.  Others are too stupid to understand their lofty ideas, so their ideas must be forced on the unwilling "for their own good."

When their ideas and faulty logic are opposed, they use blackmail, bribery, and intimidation to get their way.  Our rights to vote and to free speech are unimportant because we are too stupid to know whom to vote for or what to say.

This life of power leads to a form of insane immorality, where rules of civilized behavior apply only to others.  This is why we saw videos of political leaders at fine restaurants with no masks while the everyone else was quarantined eating TV dinners.  Scientists feel that it's OK to fake data to reach their desired conclusions.  Governors can ignore their legislatures and act like dictators.

Among the richest and most elite is an obsession with the need to end "global warming" and make the planet healthy and "sustainable."  The real fear is that "their world" is going to be polluted and overrun by the stupid people in "flyover country."

Many of these elites were significantly impacted by Paul Ehrlich's 1968 book, The Population Bomb.  Ehrlich warned, "The battle to feed all of humanity is over.  In the 1970s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now.  At this late date nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rate."

They see other human beings as the biggest threat to our beloved planet, with "depopulation" as the answer.

One aspect of this insanity is thinking they can say something outrageous and no one will object, so they are up front with their rantings...

David Rockefeller: "We are on the verge of a global transformation.  All we need is the right major crisis."

Bill Maher: "I'm pro-choice, I'm for assisted suicide, I'm for regular suicide, I'm for whatever gets the freeway moving — that's what I'm for.  It's too crowded, the planet is too crowded and we need to promote death."

Prince Philip: "In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation."

Ruth Bader Ginsburg: "Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of."

Mikhail Gorbachev: "The ecological crisis, in short, is the population crisis.  Cut the population by 90% and there aren't enough people left to do a great deal of ecological damage."

Morgan Freeman: "It's not that there's not enough room on this planet for seven billion people, it's that the energy needs for seven billion people are seven billion people's worth of energy needs, as opposed to, say, two billion.  Imagine how much pollution would be in the air and the oceans if there were only two billion people putting it in?"

Henry A.  Kissinger: "Depopulation should be the highest priority of foreign policy towards the Third World, because the U.S. economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad, especially from less developed countries."

Bertrand Russell: "If a Black Death could be spread throughout the world once in every generation survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full."

It is hard for regular, God-fearing people to recognize this level of true evil and insanity.  Many are fooled by noble words — "we must save the planet."  In the case of the pandemic, we heard, "we must have a vaccine."

The pandemic is the "global crisis" that David Rockefeller was hoping for.  Did they squash the use of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin to prevent and cure COVID in order to enable the Emergency Use Authorization and push the vaccines?

When you learn that something similar was done by the WHO in Kenya in 2014, the picture gets clearer. 

"Kenya's Catholic bishops are charging two United Nations organizations with sterilizing millions of girls and women under cover of an anti-tetanus inoculation program sponsored by the Kenyan government."  Samples were tested, and they found that "this proved right our worst fears; that this WHO campaign is not about eradicating neonatal tetanus but a well-coordinated forceful population control mass sterilization exercise using a proven fertility regulating vaccine."

Are those vaccines more than just a way to prevent COVID, but a method to sicken and sterilize the world?  See a collection of firsthand videos about the massive side-effects of the injections.

Knowingly incentivizing or coercing people into taking an experimental drug is a violation of international law, and legal charges are in the process of being filed.

This may explain the rush to vaccinate everyone — even schoolchildren, who are virtually immune to COVID.

These elites are so insane in their quest for a less crowded planet that they feel that any exaggeration, any lie, any level of coercion, any harassment of people with opposing information, is completely justified, even if it means the death of billions of people.  They think censoring free speech will work, that we will believe their lies instead of our own eyes.

We must prove them wrong, or our world will change forever.

The white people who should be ashamed

Mychal Massie lists ways 'liberal, elitist bigots' have harmed the United States

  By Mychal Massie March 8, 2021  

Practically everywhere you turn there is a fatuous, enlightened, white, liberal, elitist bigot telling other people they should be ashamed for being white. This evolving pandemic of stupidity may be in the neoteric stages of social-behavioral demagoguery, but that's not to say it hasn't been spectacularly well received by those who use the space between their ears as repositories for that which falls from chickens to the floor. Hence the prefix for the single syllable descriptive of their brains.

That said, after ruminating upon the demands by these invidious Mohocks of ophidian origin, I've realized that they present an argument that has merit. Thus, I hereby now proclaim that I am in agreement with the progeny of Satan who are advancing the white-shame narrative.

I submit that it's the white, liberal trust-fund babies sponsored by George Soros et al. who should be ashamed for being white devils. They should be ashamed for undermining hardworking Americans who have the singular desire of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. They're a disgrace to all Americans who reject skin-color of any hew as a qualifier for success or failure..........To Read More.....

The New York Police Department's release this week of the mugshots and bios of seven Antifa-BLM rioters was revealing. Six of the seven white young people have privileged backgrounds, noted Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Thursday night.  They were arrested smashing the windows of a small business in Manhattan................ privileged, poorly educated kids hellbent on punishing the rest of the country over this concept they learned of white guilt?"...........

The Wuhan Virus Pandemic has Exposed the American Ruling Class

April 24, 2020 By Steve McCann

At the culmination of a national health or societal crisis in the United States, it has become de rigueur for the media and innumerable pundits ensconced within the professional class to perform a post-mortem on how the citizenry handled the crisis and what lessons the rubes in fly-over country should have learned. But in the current pandemic, the top levels of professional class that populates the ruling class and runs the media and the major institutional bureaucracies has irretrievably unmasked itself. And the in the postmortems that will come, they will be found deficient.

Credulous Cowards

An immutable tenet of today’s ruling class is that if someone or an institution within their power base is labeled as “experts,” then these authorities are not to be questioned and their assumptions, predictions or projections must be treated as gospel. The century that followed the rise of the Wilsonian progressives, who idolized a powerful government run by educated experts, saw enormous scientific, medical, and industrial achievements the hands of experts, the products of higher education. The professional class, usually products of higher education, grants deference to certified experts, and the media makes celebrities out of those experts that support important goals of the ruling class. Experts have had a very good century.......To Read More....             

 

Political Elite Plays Its Last Card

Joe Biden is just a muddled amalgam of 40 years at the public trough, an arthritic wheelhorse in a machine that has broken down.

By Conrad Black • April 16, 2020160 Comments | in Elections Election, Top Right

Every day, the battle lines are drawn more clearly for what promises to be a memorable election. The Democrats infamously lumbered the president with an investigation into his relations with Russia that they knew to be unfounded. Then they attempted a completely spurious impeachment proceeding (with no believable evidence that he had committed the alleged offenses which, in any case, were not impeachable).
And now, in response to a fortuitous virus pandemic, they purport to require President Trump to commit political suicide by shutting down the economy for so long that the soon-to-be 30 million unemployed will turn him out on election day.

It is another phantasmagorical expedition of a desperate political elite playing its last card, but it is an engrossing spectacle.

The Democrats’ war plan is emerging. It is the last stand of a party that has fought the most tenacious tooth-and-nail extension of a tight election in American political history.........To Read More......

You Should Totally Trust Our Elite Institutions...Not

Kurt Schlichter |Aug 15, 2019

All you crazy kooks who doubt our accomplished and selfless elite and the institutions our elites manage are crazy kooks, willing participants in crazy kooky conspiracy theories that are both crazy and kooky. Also, Donald Trump was totally a Russian agent who did lines of emoluments off a hooker’s tummy alongside Putin in Moscow.

You look at something like America’s most notorious prisoner, Jeffrey Epstein, suddenly gacking himself in federal custody after having tried to do it a couple weeks ago, and you’re not wrong for wondering if maybe there’s a bit more to the tale than some short eyed strange-o choking himself out. After all, he was known to cavort with other elite pervs – mostly Democrats and at least one married to Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit. Certainly, it’s a reasonable possibility – probably the most likely possibility – that he opted for asphyxiation since his future was distinctly dank going forward. His new friends in the slam would be a bit old and male for his taste........

So, you have questions about Epstein’s death? Good, because you should. Our elite is a burning dumpster fire of failure that would have to exponentially improve to achieve mediocrity. If their track record wasn’t one of fiasco followed by foul-up over the last thirty years, maybe you could give it the benefit of the doubt. But then, a ruling caste that’s not utterly irredeemable would never have produced and partied with a Jeffrey Epstein in the first place, now would it?..........To Read More....

Portland and the Evolution of Mob Rule

July 19, 2019 By John Glynn

Imagine that you are an alien. You have just touched down on Planet Earth, and you are eager to familiarize yourself with Portland, Oregon. Why Portland? It doesn't matter.

You check out Portlandia, the sketch comedy television series, starring Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein. The show portrays the city as a bastion of liberal culture, a utopian metropolis where the woke sip soy lattes and smoke copious amounts of weed. Portland, according to the show, is a mecca for peace-loving hippies, a place where inhabitants have a Panglossian view of the world.

You, the alien, arrive there only to find chaos. Portland is not a mecca for peace loving hippies; it is a mecca for intolerance and violence. It's a city where mob rule reigns supreme. The City of Roses doesn't smell so sweet. You try to escape, but your spaceship has been vandalized by mask-wearing thugs. ........To Read More...

French Socialism Has Failed

'Free’ government services in France are unsustainable and anything but progressive

By Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry May 16, 2019

One of Charles de Gaulle’s most notorious moments of public wit came when he was asked at a press conference whether “Europe” wasn’t the solution to France’s problems. After a long defense of his policies, he exclaimed: “Of course, people can jump up and down on their chairs like mountain goats and shout ‘Europe! Europe! Europe!’ but it means nothing and leads nowhere.” It seems that when it comes to health-care reform in the U.S., progressives often think it’s enough to jump up and down like mountain goats and shout “France! France! France!” But it’s not. I am proudly French, and I have seen the problems of socialism in my nation firsthand.

Let’s get the obvious out of the way first: Yes, the French health-care system is, at the moment, almost as amazing as they say. Taking my frighteningly sick daughter to Necker, the main children’s hospital in Paris, made me proud to be a French taxpayer. Not only was the building gleaming and everything in it high-tech, but the staff was first-class, efficient, and, above all, kind, a world away from bureaucratic cliché. When, on my way out, after my daughter had recovered, I asked whether I had to pay for anything, the staff looked at me as if I’d just flown in from Mars.

Nonetheless, the French system offers virtually no lessons applicable to the United States............While the French health-care system is presently good, it is also, well, dying. ..........To Read More....

 

The Ruling Class and an Undeclared Civil War

January 31, 2019 By Steve McCann

Over the past 73 years, devoid of any meaningful national misfortune, the American social order has undergone a major transformation.  Historically, societies tend to stratify themselves along economic or pre-ordained class lines.  The United States has long prided itself on the belief that class distinctions were no longer a part of a unique American culture. 

However, the current social structure has evolved into a near impregnable three-tier categorization in which the ruling class, that sits astride the social order, has revealed, thanks to the election of Donald Trump, open and unabashed disdain for the two lower classes and the unleashing of a radicalized army of malcontents.

The citizens who provide the primary labor and resources for the economic engine of the country constitute the second tier.  The third is comprised of those who have been betrayed by a self-serving education system and are conditioned to be totally dependent upon a government dominated by the ruling class.

Unlike any other period in the nation’s history, one stratum of society, the American elites of the past half-century, by their control of education, entertainment, the media and politics, have totally dominated and overwhelmingly and negatively influenced the culture and national character.  They are chiefly responsible for what it is today.

This American aristocracy is now entirely made up of those who have no recall or firsthand experience of the years of adversity prior to 1940.   Their entire point of reference is never-ending affluence and the pursuit of pleasure within an overall framework of world peace.  Yet this assemblage is dominated by a comparatively few committed ideologues and so-called intellectuals who are dedicated to permanently altering the economy and American culture.  Nonetheless, they have been very successful in attracting many others by appealing to their vanity and avarice........To Read More.....
